FP98: Setup Switches Available in FrontPage 98ID: Q194450
|
This article describes the switches you can use with the Microsoft FrontPage 98 Setup program.
FrontPage 98 has three setup switches: /f, /r, and /s.
Setup /f The /f switch allows you to select one of several languages
in the multi-language version of FrontPage. This switch can
only be used when the Setup program is run from the root folder
of the compact disc. The setup /f command uses the following
syntax
<x>:\setup /f
where <x> is the drive that contains the Setup program. After
you run this command, the Setup program will prompt you to
select which language version of FrontPage to install.
As an alternative to using the /f switch, you can specify the
language on the command line, like this
<x>:\setup <language>
where <x> is the drive that contains the Setup program and
<language> corresponds to one of the following language
abbreviations:
DEU (German)
ENU (English)
ESP (Spanish)
FRA (French)
ITA (Italian)
setup /r The /r switch records all choices you made while running the
Setup program. It also stores these results in the Setup.iss
file. This file is saved in the folder in which you installed
Windows. The setup /r command uses the following syntax
<x>:\Frontpg\<language>\setup.exe /r
where <x> is the drive that contains the setup program and
<language> corresponds to one of the following language
abbreviations:
DEU (German)
ENU (English)
ESP (Spanish)
FRA (French)
ITA (Italian)
The Setup.iss file will be executed if you run the Setup program
with the /s switch. In this case, the Setup program will use
this file as a template as it performs a silent installation.
setup /s The /s switch installs FrontPage "silently," meaning that little
or no user intervention is required when the Setup program is
run. During the installation process, the Setup program reads
the information in the Setup.iss template that was created when
you previously ran Setup with the /r switch. The steps
recorded in the Setup.iss file are carried out silently, making
it easier for network administrators to install the same
components of FrontPage on multiple computers. The Setup.iss
file must reside in the folder that contains the FrontPage Setup
program.
NOTE: Because you cannot copy the Setup.iss file to the
FrontPage compact disc, you will have to copy the <lang> folder
and all of its contents to a file or network location.
The setup /s command uses the following syntax:
<x>:\Frontpg\<language>\setup.exe /s
where <x> is the drive that contains the setup program and
<language> corresponds to one of the following language
abbreviations:
DEU (German)
ENU (English)
ESP (Spanish)
FRA (French)
ITA (Italian) Additional query words: setup switch scripted install
